Is hijab really forced on Iranian women? Is it oppression, or liberation? In this video, I break down the history of covering in Iran—from pre-Islamic Persia to Reza Shah’s forced unveiling, including the Goharshad Mosque massacre, to the democratic process that restored hijab after the 1979 revolution. I also compare the psychological effects of hijab versus Western beauty standards, and I address Western women directly with a question that might change their perspective. If you want to understand the real story behind hijab, this video is for you.

I see many women walking around with out a chador or hijab on. The only thing I don't see is women in booty shorts and spandex tops. The women are always very modest. What we would call "Sunday best" in the 1950's.
Maybe you should go to Iran for a few months and give us some first hand reports.

There have been American YouTubers who have been there lately and posted videos.
Here is Matt and Julia, they posted three weeks ago. It’s one of several videos they posted.
